Fatigue,headaches,severe Dizziness,falling Down a Lot Posted: 01-04-04 17:28pm
Please help me! If anyone has had the
same symptoms as me, maybe you can help.
For the last 7 years I have been having
periods of very debillitating vertigo.
It feels like I am drunk and more often
than not, I fall down and get hurt. When
this happens, I also get headaches. I
have also been very fatigued over the last
7 years. I have had holter monitor tests
and an mri, and the doctor just prescribed
me some anti-depressant meds. I know I
am not depressed! Other than the
frustrations that come along with these
symptoms, I have never been happier! My
uncle has had the same complaints and they
have never figured out what was wrong with
him either. We both have severe kidney
stone problems, but it doesn't seem like
this is related. I have four children
and I would like to know what this might
be, and if I can pass this on. Any help
would be welcome!

I don't have vertigo, but I am having
somewhat similar symptoms. For about 10
months I have been getting headaches,
lightheaded, I fall down-often! I fall
about 3-4 times a day and it's increasing.
I have muscle and joint pain in my legs.
Have been tested for many different
things, but none were the diagnosis for
me. One doctor thought that depression
caused all of this. I also know that I am
not depressed, besides what has come from
being 14 and having 10 months spent on
caution and doctors, but it certainly did
not cause it! I'm sorry that I dnn't have
any personal answers for you, especially
because at the moment i'm seeking my own.
Good luck!

Dizziness Posted: 05-30-07 20:16pm
hello, I am a 29 year old and I started
having problem with dizziness and falling
down. Mine ended up being MS. Not saying
you have MS, I have many other problems
but that is something to look into. Also,
have you had your enter ear checked out?
Or your blood pressure?

I also was just diagnosed w/ benign
positional vertigo and while it's not that
bad, I am only 24 and looking forward to a
life of having it re occur is not fun!
I think there are some surgeries for the
more extreme cases.

Hi Posted: 07-27-07 02:33am
hi there im 17 and i have symptoms like
that
i ahve high blood pressure and i get dizzy
from standing up 2 fast
Hi, I am 35 years old and have been
dealing with episodes for the past 7 years
of headaches behind the right eye, balled
up muscle stiffness, difficutly walking
fatigue, neurgenic bladder, dizziness.
The summer of 2007 the dizziness has been
so bad and I had a hard time staying awake
the entire summer. I went to a neurologist
which i told her my symptoms and she did a
Brain MRI and discovered I have two
leasions in the pons area of my brain and
thats why i'm having such a hard time
staying awake. The doctor put me on
adderall to keep me awake. It seems to be
working fine but, I'm still having issues
of dizziness which can last every day,
lasting for an hour to 8 hours a day and
has been going on for almost a year now
and doesn't seem to be going away. I do
know that If I don't get enough rest, or
I'm out in the cold it will bring on my
other symptoms of balled up muscle
stiffness.
The doctor is thinking of putting in the
catagory of Mixed connective tissue
disease for now. All I want is for the
dizziness to stop. Has anyone had this
problems? Especially the longs periods of
dizziness? I have had my inner ear checked
and Have been to an ENT Doc and they said
everything was ok.
